[@HektorBandimar]

Good video Mike, I've worked with a few spreads in my time, you know your stuff, nice clean job.

[@mikewestonplastering5082]

[@paulfletcher9654]

Very informative video mate Lovely professional work 👍

[@mikewestonplastering5082]

Thanks Paul. I'll try do the next one on a tripod to get some better angles. 👍

[@chrismcgee3745]

Brilliant video mate

[@petergray882]

[@kevinnewmarch5716]

[@petergray882]

@@kevinnewmarch5716 can't remember the brand ,think it was plasters one stop shop I got from ,you can search there page

[@gilesneeson3135]

We're can you buy these darbys

[@michaelmoroney4594]

You need to get a 800 mm nela spatchcock flattens over the mesh brilliantly

[@jp6975]

That was a good video. Some brilliant tips in that. 2 questions... 1) what thickness was the base coat, and 2) where did you get the beads from?

[@junior4246]

great job mike nice and clean too, what size beads did you use ?

[@paultaylor319]

Hi Mike, You make that look so easy, What would happen if you got half way across a wall and rain stopped play ?. Would you be able to carry on from where you left off or would you finish the complete wall even in the rain?, Thanks

[@Ireland-bc2gx]

That darby work is not necessary mate,lay your base coat on and trowel in the mesh scratch top coat,

[@lukethedukewatkins7441]

Great video Mike, what size beads did you use for this system?

[@mikewestonplastering5082]

Thanks Luke, I used 15mm beads. Base coat about 4/5mm then top coat a few mm's thicker that the beads 👍

[@terryfincham7252]

​@@mikewestonplastering5082Carrying on from orignal question ,would thisbe the same procedure if you was to then silicone render as a final coat. Its something im going to do at home ,first attempt , Done years of s&c so just getting to grips with procedure ,Great vid ,thanks👍👍

[@jasonflynn2408]

Great video, where could I get a Darby like that plz

[@eesakhan2638]

Hello Mike where can i buy this Darby from please? Thanks for the info

[@lareinedemado]

That close up was very useful thank you! Is HP 12 more like a traditional mortar? Because it doesn't look like the monocouche I used, which was an absolute nightmare to work with. Cheers from France 😊

[@AA17604]

Great job mate is that water u spraying the blocks with?

[@Mantra1988]

How long to wait for the finish Coat with plaster?

[@mikewestonplastering5082]

A couple of days in the summer

[@eiremonster]

Mike would HP12 stick to Aqua cement boards?

[@johnm0csn]

Nice job pal,

[@daze8644]

What size beads are you using mate?

[@junior4246]

hi mike is there a reason why the second half didnt have mesh ?

[@Happytruth]

I noticed that just watched this and I think he forgot to embed the last strip of mesh.

[@petergray882]

Sounds like it is in there just didn't record it

[@leegorman3329]

what size beads you on mate?

[@Billy-dl7yg]

Why are you basecoating concrete blocks? Yeh scrim your stress points etc but correct me if im wrong but you can apply monocouche/ k rend straight onto that surface no base required unless obviously thermalight blocks, old brick etc then yeh base coat?

[@Nofixedabode859]

Hi pal not done kremd before only traditional, can you krend with just topcoat on blockwork then?

[@Billy-dl7yg]

Yes pal

[@ZAFPS]

Yh you’ll have a lot of krend to do to get out to them beads

[@Happytruth]

@@ZAFPSwhat thickness would the beads be on a job like this?

[@Happytruth]

Maybe it even up the suction more ready for the top coat just a guess, I’m not sure myself why this stuff is called one coat because every video I’ve seen on KZbin apart from machine spraying they apply one thin coat then another straight over the top.

[@scosy07]

Why not 3mm then 3mm. Show us you getting the top coat flat with hp12 Or are you using an easier product to top coat

[@bertRaven1]

very neat

[@allroundthefields5893]

Left handed plasterers freak me out 😅

[@mikewestonplastering5082]

🤣 We're a rare bunch 😁

[@tonystreet3574]

First lefty plasterer ive ever seen.

[@markbennett5167]

Why mesh when going onto solid blockwork? I thought mesh was for cement board where there are joints!! You don't mesh sand and cement render which is what I would have done on solid blockwork 🤔

[@junior4246]

oops sorry mike read it further down in the comments thanks

[@Swiftspell]

Hawks are so slow - I have been plastering 30 year and my boys and I only use a 6-inch broad knife and a 20 x 5 trowel.... You should try that - you'll find it's more efficient and economical, also produce more from your man hours.

[@paulsleczka195]

I notice hes left handed.

[@oldskoolxp]

Hahaha

[@u2kjib4cjkqn]

Get a pump it will save your arms

[@mikewestonplastering5082]

One day perhaps 😅
